HERB WARD RCA 47-9688 DEMO HONEST TO GOODNESS / IF YOU GOT TO LEAVE ME disc G+   label VG-   HONEST TO GOODNESS... here we go... If I didnt have to eat, I'd keep this record!   WHATTA CLASSIC!!  It probably looks a bit better than the low grade I gave it.  And it DEFINATELY plays much better!!!   Everything you want in a northern dance number is here. This thing is playing VERY GOOD PLUS (I'm listening to it now) and while it's not that perfect copy we all desire, it IS very enjoyable listening.  I think you're gonna love this little vinyl platter! Honest to goodness! IF YOU GOT TO LEAVE ME starts with a horn call in unison, then jumps right into that swaying groove, with Herb pleading, and a fantastic backing group returning his call.  It plays so much nicer than the low grade I gave this disc.  A VERY GOOD PLUS listening experience, with not too much in the crackle factor that distracts from it.   A very enjoyable (but lesser grade) record, and definately a two sided northern classic!     I'm going to list some singles that are below the grades I usually try to deal in, but they're rare enough to warrant attention.  Visually, the grades for several of the singles are low (in the "G" or "good" condition range, which means heavy scuffs and or scratches, very obviously played and stored improperly).  But I DO play grade every record I sell, too. So please, pay attention to BOTH grades.  I've always tried to satisfy my customers by letting them know exactly what I hear when I play a record, BEFORE it's sold. I am only listing what I consider the best, or rarest records.  I have thousands of other titles, though.     Bid on this record with confidence. Yes it is far from perfect, but it does play well enough to warrent my listing it. And no, there are NO skips. This current listing is for ONE record. The others shown in the photos are for reference only, to let you know some of the other records I have listed for sale. I have one record that I'd love to know more about. It's GOLD STANDARD #258 BILLY JOE BURNETTE singing SHE TURNS ME ON.  The record is a scorcher!  But I've not found any reference to it. Anyone have any information on this one? Also, what do I need to do to incorporate sound in my listings? I'd love to do that. FYI, these are some of the other singles I am listing today.  Please check them out.   BLUE MAGIC LIBERTY 56146 (issue) CAN I SAY I LOVE YOU / ONE, TWO, THREE   TONY MIDDLETON MALA 544 PARIS BLUE / OUT OF THIS WORLD (issue) bb hole in label   TWO PEOPLE REVUE 11033 DEMO STOP, LEAVE MY HEART ALONE / LOVE DUST   DARRYL STEWART WAND 11209 (DEMO) NAME IT AND CLAIM IT / CROSS MY HEART   DEL ROYALS MERCURY 72970  (issue copy with demo stamp)\ MAN OF VALUE / COME BACK PEARL   WILD SOUND UNLIMITED COLPAR 45-1005 DEMO I KNOW YOU / I JUST CAN'T WAIT     Payment via PAYPAL (preferred) or check (allow 2 weeks to clear).
